avoiding the inevitable...

I am 100% avoiding cleaning my house. My husband took Tate camping this week (don't ask me why, I was happy to bow out of that one!). Chloe and I are just chillin' and I should be cleaning my disaster of a house right now... but I wanted to post a few of this newborn session. This family lives in my neigborhood and I loved hanging out with them this morning. Could they be more beautiful? Anyways, here you go! How zealous am I (there's a word I don't use every day) posting the day of. Photography is definately a good way to avoid all the other duties in life, I guess that is why I love my job so much... okay enough talking, here are the photos.

Update: Chloe woke up from her nap, and I actually did clean the house and she said, "mom you cleaned my house, thank you!". Gratitude at 2 years old, wow she must be a rare breed, but wait 2 min later she was pouring yogurt all over the kitchen counter.

Oh, p.s. I love my D700! this is my first session using it and all my focusing problems have left the building...

look at her big blue peepers!

the sweet new arrival...

What? The D300 has focusing issues? And I've been struggling with my 50mm 1.4 lens thinking it was messed up.

Back on topic, the photos are amazing as always.
